There are a handful of events in one's life where you remember where you were when you heard the news.
For people of my age those moments might include:
Attempt on Reagan's life on March 30, 1981.
Challenger explosion on January 28, 1986.
Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Columbia accident on February 1, 2003.
It was the Beijing Spring of 1989 when students were joined by the masses in rallies in Tiananmen Square to demonstrate for reform. In between the Forbidden City and Mao's Mausoleum is Tiananmen Square.
Below is a music video set to the haunting music of Clint Mansell performed by the Kronos Quartet for the film "Requiem for a Dream."
